Bay of Plenty/Waikato Business Expo

7th March 2018

The inaugural Bay of Plenty/Waikato Business Expo offers a prime opportunity for businesses across the country to maximise exposure to the thriving central region of Tauranga, Hamilton and Rotorua and reap new opportunities. This is a platform to foster the reginal economies, for businesses to showcase their brand, share their story, and be seen. It’s a great way to supercharge your 2018!

“This will be an Expo where business gets done,” says Sharon Giblett. “It’s a great chance to access one of New Zealand’s most prosperous markets.”

Here is some of the excitement it is generating already:

“This is fantastic – just what we’ve needed”

“It’s going to be a huge event for the region. So excited to be exhibiting!”

“Our team can’t wait for this event. If the recent Wellington expo is anything to go by, it will be an outstanding experience and well worth the investment for us.”

The 7 March, 2018 Expo at ASB Arena, Tauranga is attracting exhibitors from around New Zealand, as well as within the region. The Expo, which runs from 9am until 4pm, includes half hourly business seminars offering valuable opportunities, insights and tips on how to improve your business, as well as exclusive pre and post Expo exhibitor and sponsor networking sessions.

The organisers, Jigsaw Solutions Group, are planning to showcase more than 130 exhibitors at the ASB Arena. Entry is free to visitors, and the organisers are expecting to draw a qualified audience of entrepreneurs and professionals.

The Expo is being supported by the Chambers of Commerce in Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua and Hutt Valley as well as the Tauranga economic development agency Priority One.
